This paper reports on the microbiology of cereal and cereal based products, focusing on both the useful microbiota and the spoiling microorganisms. Namely, sourdough and the ethnic foods produced from cereals were described as examples of a desirable fermentation by lactic acid bacteria and/or yeasts. In addition, the chapter offers a short overview on some important spoiling events associated with cereal (mouldy and production of mycotoxins, rope and sour spoilage, yeasty).
